Transcript

00:00:00.000 The FDA has officially voted unanimously to approve the Fauci ouchie for kids between the
00:00:05.380 ages of five and 11. A couple of days ago on this show, we heard from Yale epidemiologist Harvey
00:00:11.400 Risch, who said that he recommended homeschooling any healthy children who were mandated to get the
00:00:17.760 vaccine, pull them out of school. He just felt it was not worth any potential risk given that
00:00:24.260 healthy children face very, very little risk of serious illness or death from COVID. Well,
00:00:30.600 the FDA inadvertently seems to have proven Professor Risch's point when one of the FDA
00:00:36.460 panel members who voted to inject the kids gave this rationale for it. We're never going to learn
00:00:42.960 about how safe the vaccine is unless we start giving it. That's just the way it goes.
00:00:47.680 That's the only way? Did Dr. Fauci run out of beagles or something? The only way to test the
00:00:56.080 safety of a vaccine is to inject it into a bunch of kids? This is like that time Nancy Pelosi said
00:01:02.020 the only way to find out what was in the Obamacare bill was to pass the Obamacare bill. Except in the
00:01:07.380 case of Obamacare, the worst case scenario just involves a lot of wasted spending and constitutional
00:01:13.060 fighting and things like that. In this case, it involves injecting your kids with an experimental
00:01:19.960 drug that they almost certainly don't need. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:33.220 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from Shady Ganley, formerly Jaquarius.
00:01:38.260 Okay, that's fine. Who says, even Hunter's artwork requires him to blow through a pipe.

00:03:24.000 we were all up in arms that Dr. Fauci performed experiments on beagles. Oh, the poor little,
00:03:31.500 well, right now they want to do that on your kids. And the FDA panel member is saying that himself.
00:03:35.940 He goes, well, the only way we're going to know if it's safe is if we inject all your kids with this
00:03:39.200 stuff. And then we just see what happens. What could go wrong? It's not my kids. It's your kids.
00:03:44.440 Well, I don't, you know, if it were my kids, maybe I'd be a little more worried, but it's your kids.
00:03:47.900 So whatever. That's what they're doing to your kids' bodies. Now, what are they doing to your
00:03:53.900 kids' minds? It's even worse. Okay. Speaking of what your kids are being taught, there is a professor
00:03:59.300 at Rutgers right now. She just went on a show, The Root. And this Rutgers professor was pontificating
00:04:09.180 about white people, about race and society. And to cut to the chase, she doesn't like white people
00:04:17.780 very much. I think that white people are committed to being villains in the aggregate, right? The real
00:04:23.320 sort of issue here, and I, you know, I've heard people sort of say it is one, I think that white
00:04:28.120 people viscerally fear. It's not that white people don't know, right, what they have done. They know.
00:04:33.620 They fear that there is no other way to be human, but the way in which they are human,
00:04:39.960 which is to, so, you know, like you talk to white people and whenever you really want to have a
00:04:43.880 reckoning about it, they say stuff like, you know, it's just human nature. If y'all had all of this
00:04:48.820 power, you would have done the same thing, right? And it's like, no, that's what white humans did.
00:04:54.760 White human beings thought there's a world here and we own it. Prior to them, black and brown people
00:05:01.480 have been sailing across oceans, interacting with each other for centuries without total
00:05:06.480 subjugation, domination, and colonialism. I do think that all of us can sort of agree
00:05:11.360 that a politics that says, like, there are superior and inferior human beings just isn't the way to go.
00:05:17.320 And that's the thing that white people don't trust us to do because they are so corrupt.
00:05:22.760 You know, their thinking is so morally and spiritually bankrupt about power.
00:05:26.760 It's wrong to say that some people are better than other people, you know? You know, that's wrong.
00:05:33.280 And you know who does that? Those corrupt, evil, villainous, smelly, dirty, rotten, awful white
00:05:39.120 people. They, all those horrible, disgusting, filthy, cockroach white people. They say that some
00:05:46.300 people are better than others. You know, man, I hate those white people. That was awful. So from the
00:05:50.680 historical perspective, what this lunatic is saying is just not true. She's saying that before
00:05:56.100 European colonization and exploration, black people, untouched by the evil white man, had been sailing
00:06:04.180 across oceans and living in sort of, some sort of Edenic paradise. None of that is true. I don't,
00:06:11.160 I don't, look, I know they say Christopher Columbus discovered America. Some people say it was Leif
00:06:14.980 Erickson, but I don't, I don't think anyone is claiming that someone from sub-Saharan Africa who had
00:06:22.900 never met the evil, awful white man actually discovered America or something like that,
00:06:27.340 right? So that is, that is not the case. And, and that if they had, they would not have engaged in
00:06:31.820 colonialism or imperialism or anything. Everyone would have lived in Kumbaya. That's not even true
00:06:35.920 in Africa, right? I mean, what is at the heart of this crazy racial politics is the slave trade
00:06:42.160 and colonialism and imperialism, as she's alluding to. Where did that slave trade come from? Did it come
00:06:49.800 because the white man showed up in Africa and then just threw a big net on people and just took them
00:06:54.460 away? No, there was a preexisting slave trade in Africa among Africans. A lot of it was controlled
00:07:01.180 actually by North Africans, but there was a huge slave trade in sub-Saharan Africa. There still is
00:07:06.360 slavery in Africa to this very day. So historically that doesn't make any sense, but whatever, who cares?
00:07:13.680 I mean, this lunatic professor who probably shouldn't have graduated high school is now teaching
00:07:18.160 students. I'm sure she has advanced degrees and she's pushing the same kind of ridiculous
00:07:23.000 racial nonsense that, that goes back to this professor, Leonard Jeffries. You, you sometimes
00:07:29.640 hear this from people like Nick Cannon or other black nationalist types that the white people are
00:07:34.440 villains. They're just evil. They're just so corrupt. They're spiritually bankrupt and the black people
00:07:39.760 are good. And the white people are the ice people and the black people are the sun people. I mean,
00:07:43.720 this, this kind of craziness has actually been taught for a number of decades. But my point is
00:07:48.560 actually even outside of the academy. My point is this on a political level, we are told that white
00:07:57.400 people are the absolute top of the privilege hierarchy. They are the oppressors. They can do no
00:08:04.420 wrong. They get all the special privileges. We are told that men are the very tippy top. We are told that
00:08:11.680 straight people are the very tippy top. We're told that cisgender people, you know, people who know
00:08:16.820 what sex they are, they're at the very tippy top. And yet, could you say these sorts of things in public
00:08:23.980 about any other race? Of course not. You could not go out and make a bunch of disparaging comments
00:08:30.960 about black people and call them villains and call them murderers and call them evil and spiritually
00:08:36.660 bankrupt and corrupt. You couldn't do that. You would be ostracized. You'd be certainly fired from
00:08:42.180 your teaching job. You'd be ostracized. You might be charged with some kind of hate crime. You couldn't
00:08:46.860 do it about Asian people. You couldn't do it about Hispanic people. You can only do it about white people
00:08:53.540 because what we are told is that white people are the most powerful dominant group in the whole world who
00:09:01.340 can get away with anything. But in fact, they're the only race of people that you're publicly allowed
00:09:06.860 to and actually encouraged to criticize and taught that should be abolished, right? We need to abolish
00:09:12.100 whiteness. We need to eradicate whiteness. Obviously, you couldn't say that about any other race. Same
00:09:17.640 is true on sex. You're not allowed to criticize women. You are almost obligated to criticize men.
00:09:23.260 Same is true on sexual desire. You're not allowed to criticize homosexuals or polyamorous people or
00:09:28.800 transgender people or you're not allowed to raise any question about these things. That could get you
00:09:33.460 criticized, banned, ostracized, charged with a hate crime. But you can do that to straight people.
00:09:40.220 The reality of hierarchy in the country is radically different from what we are told the hierarchy is
00:09:50.940 according to the intersectional left, critical race theory, the gender ideology. It's actually the opposite.
00:09:57.240 Speaking of young people being unfairly characterized, do you remember Kyle Rittenhouse?
00:10:05.440 Kyle Rittenhouse was this young man who during the BLM riots went out and tried to put out some fires as
00:10:11.520 there were arsonists running roughshod and people destroying property and threatening people and
00:10:15.340 killing people. And when some of the Antifa lunatics came after him, he shot them in self-defense.
00:10:21.000 It would seem for, I mean, we have videos of these things. It looks like he shot them in self-defense.
00:10:25.940 So they're trying to prosecute him. He's a young, evil, white guy conservative. I mean,
00:10:31.460 he checks every box for throw this guy in jail and throw away the key. The prosecution is really going
00:10:38.920 after him. And as the trial begins, the judge actually is mocking the prosecution for their ridiculous
00:10:47.840 ideology. If there were any evidence in this case, and I would love to hear it because I haven't seen
00:10:54.620 it. If there was any evidence in this case that Mr. Rosenbaum physically attacked anyone else that
00:10:59.520 night, chased anyone else that night, assaulted anyone else that night, threatened anybody with a
00:11:05.220 weapon that night, we can talk about that. But I don't hear any evidence to that effect. All we're
00:11:11.420 talking about is arson. We're talking about being loud and disorderly. We're talking about, you know,
00:11:15.900 being, I can't believe some of the things you're seeing. I mean, all we're talking about is arson.
00:11:19.420 Come on. I love that judge at the end. All you're talking about is arson. Come on. I mean,
00:11:24.560 this guy, this prosecutor here is, he is the guy from MSNBC. They're not literally the same guy,
00:11:30.500 but it's the exact same point. You remember the guy from MSNBC? He's standing in front of a burning
00:11:34.380 building. He's saying these are fiery, but mostly peaceful protests. I would say other than the arson
00:11:40.160 and the looting and the mugging and the beating and the murdering, it's mostly peaceful. So if you
00:11:45.960 can show me, judge, that these guys, you know, were doing anything other than burn and pillage and kill
00:11:53.060 and steal and anything else, okay, then we can have that conversation. In the Kyle Rittenhouse trial,
00:12:01.600 as the prosecutors are talking to the judge and trying to get this kid thrown in prison forever
00:12:06.540 for what would seem to be defending himself, the prosecution is attempting to frame the debate.
00:12:16.620 And we know that whoever frames the issue wins the debate. So what the prosecution is trying to do is
00:12:22.420 say that the people that Kyle Rittenhouse shot were victims. Now, of course, Rittenhouse's point is,
00:12:28.380 no, no, they were coming after me. They were chasing me. These are very violent people. They were
00:12:31.380 burning stuff down and I shot them in self-defense. And what the prosecution wants to do
00:12:36.440 is call them victims. The judge having none of it. This is bad character evidence, Your Honor.
00:12:42.540 This is an attempt to tell the jury, Mr. Rosenbaum's a bad guy and deserved to die. That's really what
00:12:46.960 it is. He was an arsonist. He was a rioter. He was starting fights or it's not starting fights. He
00:12:52.260 was starting problems. He was disorderly. He was loud. He was, uh, whatever. This is really bad stuff,
00:12:59.100 Your Honor. Okay. You're, what you're doing is you're prejudicing the jury against the person that I'm
00:13:05.680 representing just because he was a filthy degenerate criminal who was burning stuff down and committing
00:13:12.100 crimes in the moment and was chasing this kid who then shot him in self-defense. Okay, judge,
00:13:19.780 that's, that's so wrong. Now, of course, what the prosecution is trying to do is, and actually the
00:13:26.680 judge just shut this down, is bring up a bunch of other problems that Kyle Rittenhouse had had that
00:13:31.580 were not related to this, to this moment. But in this prevailing ideology, the, if you are
00:13:40.620 a white, certainly just heard it from that professor, a white conservative, oh my gosh,
00:13:47.160 that's awful. That's probably worst of all. If you're, cause you can be black and a conservative,
00:13:51.800 and if you're a black conservative, you're a white supremacist. They do that to Candace all the time
00:13:55.000 or Larry Elder or anybody. So if you're a white conservative male, straight guy, you know,
00:14:02.740 you are presumed guilty until proven innocent. And even if you shoot someone in self-defense,
00:14:07.600 that is not permitted. And the force of the state will come after you for that. Now, speaking of
00:14:12.620 criminal justice, there was a really, there's so rarely good news these days, but there was some
00:14:20.640 really wonderful fireworks yesterday on Capitol Hill. Merrick Garland, the supposedly moderate
00:14:27.320 attorney general for Joe Biden, showed up to Capitol Hill to be grilled by the Senate. Merrick
00:14:31.980 Garland had to answer because he sent out a memorandum describing parents who went to their
00:14:37.740 school boards and questioned radical racial theories like the ones that we heard from Rutgers,
00:14:42.720 or radical sexual theories like transgenderism, questioned that being taught in schools. The parents
00:14:47.760 said, we don't really like that. We don't like being told that, you know, boys can become girls.
00:14:52.320 We don't like our kids being taught that white people are evil, that America's evil. We don't
00:14:55.820 like that. Merrick Garland described them as domestic terrorists. So he was dragged before Capitol Hill.
00:15:02.420 Senator Tom Cotton ripped him a new one.
00:15:06.120 One of the news reports cited in that letter, which you presumably mean,
00:15:09.260 is from Loudoun County, Virginia.
00:15:11.220 No, that's not, that is not what I was talking about.
00:15:14.420 Well, you keep citing news reports, and that's the most prominent news report that anyone in
00:15:19.120 America has seen. That refers to Scott Smith, whose 15-year-old daughter was raped.
00:15:25.240 She was raped in a bathroom by a boy wearing girls' clothes, and the Loudoun County School
00:15:31.160 Board covered it up because it would have interfered with their transgendered policy during Pride
00:15:36.260 Month. And that man, Scott Smith, because he went to a school board and tried to defend his
00:15:41.500 daughter's rights, was condemned internationally. Do you apologize to Scott Smith and his 15-year-old
00:15:47.680 daughter, Judge?
00:15:49.580 Senator, anyone whose child was raped is a most horrific crime I can imagine, and is certainly
00:15:57.220 entitled and protected by the First Amendment to protest to their school board about this.
00:16:02.420 But he was cited by the School Board Association as a domestic terrorist, which we now know,
00:16:07.040 that letter and those reports were the basis for your judgment. No, no, Senator. That's wrong.
00:16:11.640 Judge, this is shameful.
00:16:13.180 It is shameful. It is shameful. It is disgraceful. Cotton did great here. Cotton, Merrick Garland
00:16:20.440 kept trying to evade the issue, and he does a very good job, Garland, of pretending to be the,
00:16:25.060 look, I'm just the reasonable, quiet, nice, moderate guy. He's not moderate at all. He's describing
00:16:29.460 his parents as domestic terrorists. And Tom Cotton was absolutely right to call him out.
00:16:34.740 What I'm more interested in here, though, than just what a jerk Garland is and how much
00:16:39.840 Tom Cotton totally owned him, is the media aspect, okay? To me, the big story here is the story.
00:16:48.780 The Daily Wire broke this story about the rape in Virginia that the school covered up because it
00:16:54.560 didn't want to have to answer for its transgender bathroom policies, okay? The Daily Wire broke that
00:16:59.040 story. It wasn't the New York Times, it wasn't the Washington Post, it wasn't NBC News, it wasn't any of the
00:17:03.660 very well-funded investigative news outlets. It was us, little old us here at a website that was just
00:17:10.060 a tiny little blog five years ago. Now, that story is dominating the national conversation. It dominated
00:17:17.200 Capitol Hill yesterday. It might cost Terry McAuliffe the Virginia governorship. That entire race right now,
00:17:23.220 the Virginia governor race between McAuliffe and Youngkin, is coming down to education, whether parents
00:17:30.240 have the right to have some say in the way their kids are taught, and specifically coming down to
00:17:36.200 this story. And I'm not saying it just to toot our own horn here at the Daily Wire. I'm saying it to
00:17:40.920 make a point. Conservatives very rarely do investigative journalism. It loses money. It's a very expensive
00:17:46.280 endeavor. We don't have the infrastructure anywhere close to what the left has to do investigative
00:17:50.840 journalism. But just this one story has totally transformed the way we're talking about this issue.
00:17:57.880 It might, it might transform who's the governor of Virginia. There's a lesson to be learned here.
00:18:04.740 We need to do a lot more of this. This was just one story. How many more stories are there like this?
00:18:08.840 If we do a little investigative work and we start to set the conversation, we don't just react,
00:18:13.380 we don't just criticize. We start to set the conversation. We start to pick what stories we're
00:18:17.780 going to focus on. We start to uncover things that the left is trying to cover up.
00:18:22.800 How much more powerful would that be? How many more races could we win? How many more issues could
00:18:29.420 we win on? Really good stuff from Cotton. Although the prize of the day, I think I have to give to my
00:18:36.280 friend, Ted Cruz. Garland had a real rhetorical beating up there on Capitol Hill. Ted Cruz was the one
00:18:45.920 who would not let him evade the point. You saw with, with Tom Cotton, he keeps trying to pin him
00:18:52.640 down and then Garland keeps evading. And then finally Cotton goes, all right, whatever. This
00:18:55.520 is disgraceful. You're a disgrace judge. You should resign. Fair enough. Cruz asks Garland a very
00:19:02.460 specific question. Garland has a conflict of interest, it seems, because his son-in-law has a
00:19:08.400 business interest in a critical race theory company. So then Garland goes out and he starts pushing
00:19:13.720 critical race theory in the schools. Obviously that's a conflict of interests. Ted Cruz had a
00:19:18.280 simple question. Hey, judge, did you look into the ethics of this and try to get approval from
00:19:24.940 an ethics body on your decision to send to this memorandum? And he will not let the issue go.
00:19:30.760 Did you seek an ethics opinion? Judge, you know how to ask questions and answer them. Did you seek
00:19:34.880 an ethics opinion? You asked me whether I sought an ethics opinion about something that would have a
00:19:39.300 predictable effect on something. This has no predictable effect in the way that you're talking
00:19:43.640 about. So if critical race theory is taught in more schools, does your son-in-law make more money?
00:19:47.540 This memo has nothing. If critical race theory is taught in more schools, does your son-in-law make
00:19:51.360 more money? Yes or no? This memorandum has nothing to do with critical race theory or any other kind of
00:19:57.240 curriculum. Will you answer if you sought an ethics opinion? I am answering the best I can. Yes or no?
00:20:01.520 Did you seek an ethics opinion? This memorandum has nothing. Did you seek an ethics opinion? This memorandum has
00:20:07.200 nothing to do with... General, are you refusing to answer if you sought an ethics opinion? I'm telling
00:20:11.600 you that there's no possible... So you're saying no. Just answer it directly. You know how to answer
00:20:16.420 a question directly. Did you seek an ethics opinion? I'm telling you that if I thought there was any
00:20:23.380 reason to believe there was a conflict of interest, I would do that. But I cannot... Why do you refuse to
00:20:28.360 answer the question? Why won't you just say no? I'm sorry. You're not going to answer the question? I'm
00:20:33.440 sorry. Ask the question again. Did you seek an ethics opinion? I'm saying again. I would seek
00:20:38.520 an ethics opinion in... So no is the answer, correct? Senator, your time is up.
00:20:45.120 Is this Garland guy stupid? Is he just a little thick that he doesn't know what question Ted Cruz
00:20:52.400 has been pestering him with for several minutes at that point? Gosh, he must be the dumbest guy in the
00:20:59.000 world. Well, maybe not. Maybe he's not. I actually don't think he's a dumb guy. I think he's got
00:21:02.860 really stellar credentials. I think he went to really fancy schools. I think he's been a federal
00:21:07.640 judge. And I think he's playing dumb. Ted Cruz is asking, did you seek an ethics opinion before
00:21:15.460 you sent out this memo that was going to benefit your son-in-law? Merrick Garland answers, it's not
00:21:21.160 going to benefit my son-in-law. Ted Cruz says, that's not the question I asked you. I said, did you seek
00:21:26.140 an ethics... It's a very simple question. It's like, did you eat eggs for breakfast this morning? Did you
00:21:30.540 seek an ethics opinion? I'm not saying, what should the conclusion of the ethics opinion be?
00:21:35.180 I'm not saying, did you need to get an ethics... I'm just asking, did you do it?
00:21:39.420 No, Senator, I'm answering you. I just didn't know, Senator, I'm... And then he says, can you
00:21:44.820 answer the simple question? He goes, I'm sorry, what was the question? You've been asked the
00:21:47.780 question a hundred times. Did you seek an ethics opinion? But Merrick Garland is a very shrewd
00:21:52.580 politician. And Garland knows that if he gives that answer, it's going to look really,
00:21:58.100 really crooked, which it is. If you have not heard already, the Daily Wire has signed Alison
00:22:06.400 Williams to lead a very special sports series exclusively for our members. I was really hoping
00:22:10.480 that I would lead the sports series. You know, I was going to talk about the home runs, you know,
00:22:14.580 and the slam dunks and stuff, but that's okay. We got Alison. She was an ESPN seasoned sports reporter.
00:22:22.780 She announced her resignation last week because Disney, which is ESPN's parent company,
00:22:27.480 is forcing their employees to get the Fauci ouchie or get fired. Here at the Daily Wire,

00:23:00.000 Twix wants to trans your kids. Twix, you know, the delicious crunchy candy. Probably going to get a lot
00:23:21.020 of that at Halloween. Twix, they want to trans your kids. There was an ad that came out for Twix.
00:23:30.140 In the ad, a little boy dresses like a little girl, but he's not dressing like a little girl for Halloween.
00:23:36.960 He's dressing like a little girl because I guess he thinks he's a little girl and he has abusive parents.
00:23:41.760 So in the ad, he gets a new babysitter, a new nanny. And the babysitter and the nanny is a witch.
00:23:51.880 You buckled?
00:23:53.120 I'm still wearing my princess dress.
00:23:55.420 Do you want to wear it?
00:23:56.080 Hey, you. Princess. You look like a girl. Why are you wearing that?
00:24:13.180 Dressing like this makes me feel good.
00:24:15.480 Is that your nanny? She looks weird. You look weird. Your nanny looks weird. You guys are both weird.
00:24:20.520 No, we're just different.
00:24:21.460 Boys don't wear dresses.
00:24:24.860 Whoa!
00:24:26.080 Whoa! Where is it coming from? What's happening?
00:24:32.120 Whoa!
00:24:36.680 We should go.
00:24:42.640 Will we come back?
00:24:43.940 Yeah, probably. Come on.
00:24:49.680 So this ad from Twix, I don't know. I saw this from Libs of TikTok.
00:24:56.080 One of the greatest accounts on Twitter.
00:24:58.440 I don't, I guess Twix made it.
00:25:00.440 If not, some, but it looks like it's a Twix ad.
00:25:03.420 It looks, I don't really watch TV a lot, but it looks, looks legit to me.
00:25:07.400 In the ad, a witch seriously injures or possibly kills a child for telling another child that boys should not dress up like girls all the time.
00:25:21.900 And so the witch attacks him.
00:25:27.060 This is a perceptive ad.
00:25:29.560 This is a really perceptive ad.
00:25:33.300 Because witchcraft is on the rise, okay?
00:25:36.100 I'm not, I don't want to sound, people are going to say I've got a tinfoil hat on or something, that I sound like a crazy person.
00:25:40.940 I'm, I'm, I'm quoting the Atlantic, okay?
00:25:43.820 The Atlantic magazine just last year comes out with an article, why witchcraft is on the rise.
00:25:48.020 And, and you see this, by the way, you, you can read about this in, in journals.
00:25:51.200 You see a lot of it on social media.
00:25:52.800 There is a rise in witchcraft, in the Wicca, sort of witchy religion.
00:25:57.020 People will describe themselves as witches and there's all sorts of kooky New Age spirituality here.
00:26:02.480 And, all this creepy sex stuff has a relation to it.
00:26:08.900 It has a relationship to the occult.
00:26:11.720 I mean, the, the very idea of transgenderism has a relationship to these strange Gnostic religions.
00:26:17.440 Which say that your body has nothing to do with who you really are.
00:26:20.800 And that actually there's this secret, secret knowledge, esoteric knowledge that really, you can only access if, if you deal in these kind of weird ideologies.
00:26:30.300 It reminds me of, of one of the greatest lines ever uttered in politics.
00:26:36.520 This is a line we have returned to on this show a number of times.
00:26:39.920 It was from Pat Robertson.
00:26:41.480 He was now, he's the very aged host at the 700 Club.
00:26:45.420 He ran for president before.
00:26:47.160 He was a very prominent evangelical leader.
00:26:49.120 And in 1992, Pat Robertson said, quote,
00:26:53.020 The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women.
00:26:56.280 It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands,
00:27:02.560 kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians.
00:27:08.700 And it's very easy to say that this is a crazy, insane, lunatic line, right?
00:27:16.000 But it's harder to point out the flaw in his reasoning.
00:27:19.880 I can't, which, where's the flaw?
00:27:21.520 Well, feminism and socialism overlap a lot.
00:27:26.700 That's true.
00:27:27.840 Think of the most radical feminists, you know, often they are more open to things like socialism.
00:27:32.720 It's anti-family.
00:27:33.740 Well, that's certainly true, right?
00:27:34.640 A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.
00:27:36.280 That was Gloria Steinem.
00:27:38.640 Encourages women to leave their husbands.
00:27:40.040 Same point.
00:27:40.540 Kill their children.
00:27:41.440 Is, is feminism pro-abortion?
00:27:43.100 Yeah.
00:27:44.920 Destroy capitalism.
00:27:46.000 Well, yeah, we just talked about that with the socialism thing.
00:27:48.140 Become lesbians.
00:27:48.900 Yeah, there's, you know, I'm not saying all feminists are lesbians, but there's definitely
00:27:52.060 some overlap, okay?
00:27:53.320 And then the, the one that people always thought was the most over the top was practice witchcraft.
00:27:57.980 But this is rising.
00:28:00.380 You'll read about covens and things like that in Brooklyn.
00:28:04.480 You'll hear people describe themselves as witchy women and that sort of stuff.
00:28:08.300 And what they will tell you is, oh, Michael, don't take this seriously.
00:28:12.320 This isn't like a real religious thing.
00:28:14.240 It's more of a kind of political statement.
00:28:15.560 It's, it's kind of like atheists just saying, you know, this is my, it's, it's hearkening
00:28:20.380 back to old mythology and old pagan ideas.
00:28:23.260 Right.
00:28:23.500 I know.
00:28:23.900 That's right.
00:28:24.420 Of course it is.
00:28:26.320 That it happens to be the case that there's more between heaven and earth than is dreamt
00:28:29.680 of in our philosophies.
00:28:30.780 But moreover, even if you're doing this thing ironically, like there, there is a, there was
00:28:35.520 a Satanist movement in the 20th century that was kind of ironic.
00:28:38.360 They didn't really believe in the existence of God or Satan.
00:28:40.960 And they just believed that you should do all the things that Satanists do.
00:28:46.520 You know, you should pursue your own selfish interests.
00:28:48.640 You shouldn't care about others.
00:28:49.540 You should pursue your own basest appetites.
00:28:51.180 So it's kind of ironic Satanism.
00:28:53.300 It's kind of ironic witchcraft sometimes.
00:28:55.280 And the thing is, if you do something ironically for your whole life, it's just sincere.
00:29:00.820 It's earnest.
00:29:01.480 You're actually just doing it.
00:29:02.420 And this is true.
00:29:06.180 All of the, everybody's got to serve somebody.
00:29:09.040 All right.
00:29:09.360 The great political philosopher, Bob Dylan understood that.
00:29:12.160 Everybody's got to serve somebody.
00:29:14.020 So you might be thinking, oh, I don't believe in all that kooky nonsense.
00:29:19.900 I'm, I don't believe in religion.
00:29:21.860 I'm just pragmatic.
00:29:23.060 I'm just realistic.
00:29:24.140 I'm just whatever.
00:29:26.240 But you do, you, as they say, politics is downstream of culture.
00:29:32.480 Culture is downstream of religion.
00:29:34.140 Cult and culture come from the same root word.
00:29:35.900 Okay.
00:29:36.100 What, what you do, the way you live your life, because we're incarnate beings and we, and
00:29:40.500 we also have ideas and we are motivated by ideas and we do things in the real world.
00:29:44.380 It is going to have some religious significance.
00:29:46.460 And in this case, it's a bunch of witches.
00:29:48.980 Bad idea.
00:29:49.560 It's not good stuff.
00:29:50.260 Don't hang out with the witches.
00:29:52.560 Pat Robertson called it in the nineties.
00:29:54.540 We should have listened.
00:29:56.240 Speaking of creepy, weird gender ideology, the state department is buying into this.
00:30:00.560 The state department now is announcing for the first time, it will allow a third gender
00:30:06.200 option for U.S. citizens on their passports.
00:30:08.940 They have now issued one.
00:30:11.460 It is the first of its kind.
00:30:13.120 And on your passport, you can either identify yourself as a male, M, a female, F, or something
00:30:21.820 else, X.
00:30:23.200 This has been building for a long time.
00:30:29.020 In a way, it's the logical consequence of the homosexual rights movement from the nineties
00:30:35.460 and two thousands.
00:30:36.700 And really that's a consequence of the feminist movement.
00:30:39.520 All of which hold as their fundamental premise that men and women are basically the same.
00:30:47.660 That men and women are basically interchangeable.
00:30:51.180 They're not complementary.
00:30:52.840 They're not totally different.
00:30:54.160 They're kind of anything a man can do, a woman can do.
00:30:57.120 The differences are only superficial.
00:31:00.280 So naturally, you would redefine marriage.
00:31:02.020 Naturally, you would redefine sex itself.
00:31:03.920 If M plus W equals M plus M equals W plus W, right?
00:31:13.060 If they're all the same, then M equals W and they're interchangeable.
00:31:17.780 So the state department has bought into this.
00:31:20.320 What does this mean for you?
00:31:21.080 One, it seems like there's a little bit of a security risk issue here.
00:31:24.980 If you no longer need to identify your sex and you can just pretend you're some other
00:31:29.260 sex on your passport, that would seem to pose some security problems.
00:31:34.180 But it's also ridiculous from a philosophical standpoint.
00:31:38.060 And it's also now part of the governing ideology.
00:31:40.860 The regime has now officially adopted transgenderism as its governing ideology.
00:31:47.360 Meaning that you don't really have a right to question it.
00:31:52.120 And you've been seeing this more and more in recent years.
00:31:57.240 Five years ago, if you said a man is a woman, you would be laughed at.
00:32:02.220 Ten years ago, people would consider committing you to an insane asylum.
00:32:07.180 Now you would still be, five years ago, you'd still be laughed at.
00:32:11.380 Today, it is taken as common sense.
00:32:13.600 Increasingly, if you say a man is not a woman, you'll be censored on social media.
00:32:20.680 You'll be asked to leave the classroom.
00:32:22.540 You will have professional consequences at your job.
00:32:26.960 If you do that in government, you could be accused of discrimination.
00:32:32.000 Pretty soon, you won't really be allowed to do it at all.
00:32:36.160 We talked yesterday about the regime.
00:32:37.580 What's a regime?
00:32:38.440 A regime is that which transcends the partisan disputes.
00:32:42.200 The Republican wins.
00:32:44.240 The Democrat wins.
00:32:44.940 It doesn't matter.
00:32:45.480 Certain things remain the same.
00:32:47.280 Now, transgenderism is about to be part of that.
00:32:49.980 It's on the passports.
00:32:51.720 It doesn't matter if a Republican wins and says, this is bunk.
00:32:54.320 It's on the passports.
00:32:57.860 Soon enough, the squishes will be defending this.
00:33:01.880 Okay, and what you're going to hear, mark my words, save this episode.
00:33:05.860 I don't know if it will come true in five years or ten years or even sooner than that, maybe.
00:33:09.780 But what's going to happen is the squishes are going to say, oh, you know, look, maybe I don't agree with transgenderism.
00:33:19.540 Okay, I don't practice transgenderism myself.
00:33:22.280 But people have a right to choose if they want to say that they're transgender.
00:33:25.520 Okay, and that's just their right.
00:33:27.020 And that's just liberty.
00:33:28.440 And it's on the passports.
00:33:29.720 Okay, and that's the government is protecting that individual right of men to pretend that they're women.
00:33:35.060 Now, I might not agree with it, but that's a blessing of liberty.
00:33:39.100 You will be hearing that probably sooner than many of us think.
00:33:43.700 The ruling class is really, really weird.
00:33:48.460 It's getting really bizarre, really out there.
00:33:52.140 Okay, and at the international level, the level of these groups that transcend nations like the United Nations,
00:33:59.960 one of their obsessions is climate change because climate change used to be global cooling,
00:34:05.700 then it was global warming, then it was climate change.
00:34:08.100 Now, I guess they call it climate crisis or climate catastrophe.
00:34:10.700 It is this apocalyptic prediction that tells us the end of the world is imminent
00:34:15.840 unless we give them all the money and all the power, and so we've got to just go along with it.
00:34:21.460 They are now playing at the UN.
00:34:23.200 For world leaders, a really scientific, erudite, serious video of a dinosaur lecturing everybody about extinction.
00:34:35.760 Listen up, people.
00:34:37.620 I know a thing or two about extinction.
00:34:40.600 And let me tell you, and you'd kind of think this would be obvious,
00:34:45.440 going extinct is a bad thing.
00:34:47.620 And driving yourselves extinct?
00:34:51.420 In 70 million years, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
00:34:55.520 At least we had an asteroid.
00:34:57.920 What's your excuse?
00:34:59.840 You're headed for a climate disaster,
00:35:01.980 and yet every year governments spend hundreds of billions of public funds on fossil fuel subsidies.
00:35:08.560 Imagine if we had spent hundreds of billions per year subsidizing giant meteors.
00:35:13.440 That's what you're doing right now!
00:35:15.080 Think of all the other things you could do with that money.
00:35:19.880 Around the world, people are living in poverty.
00:35:22.880 Don't you think helping them would make more sense than, I don't know,
00:35:26.300 paying for the demise of your entire species?
00:35:30.040 Let me be real for a second.
00:35:32.360 You've got a huge opportunity right now.
00:35:34.480 As you rebuild your economies and bounce back from this pandemic,
00:35:38.660 this is humanity's big chance.
00:35:40.220 Three really important aspects here to the dinosaur lecturing the world leaders.
00:35:48.640 A sentence I never thought I would utter.
00:35:50.760 First of all, he goes back to this ridiculous, the dinosaur does,
00:35:54.300 he goes back to this ridiculous talking point that you hear a lot from the environmentalist lunatics,
00:35:59.260 and he says, you're subsidizing fossil fuels!
00:36:03.480 You, oh my, your governments, your taxpayer dollars are subsidizing rich old uncle penny bags at the oil company.
00:36:12.900 What does that mean?
00:36:13.920 That obviously isn't true.
00:36:15.260 So what does he mean by that?
00:36:17.500 We're just giving direct payments to the oil tycoons?
00:36:21.520 That's what's going on?
00:36:22.220 Why are we doing that?
00:36:24.280 Why would we do that?
00:36:25.040 Why would taxpayers and why would the government, just even from a political optics standpoint,
00:36:30.660 why would they subsidize the oil companies?
00:36:35.660 Because they are paying for poor people to heat their homes, among other things.
00:36:41.460 What do you think oil subsidies means?
00:36:44.620 We're paying, the government is paying oil companies and buying oil.
00:36:48.480 One, because it has its own needs for oil.
00:36:49.840 But two, as part of a welfare program for poor people to heat their homes.
00:36:54.220 So is your argument, no, the poor people should freeze.
00:36:57.080 That way we won't, the sun monster won't be angry, and we can appease the great sun god,
00:37:01.400 and then he won't destroy the world in 18 months or 12 years or whatever.
00:37:04.800 They keep changing the number.
00:37:06.840 No, I don't think that.
00:37:08.720 I am more interested in helping the poor people heat their homes in the winter,
00:37:13.140 helping widows and orphans stay warm in the winter than I am in protecting a rock or the
00:37:22.860 delta smelter, even the polar bears who are doing just fine, by the way.
00:37:26.560 That's the first part that's so ridiculous.
00:37:28.720 The second part that is so ridiculous is that he's already, by the end, the dinosaur is,
00:37:36.600 already taking it beyond climate change, beyond this one issue of, he says, this is an opportunity.
00:37:41.480 This pandemic, it's an opportunity for a, would you say, a great reset?
00:37:45.200 I don't know.
00:37:45.500 For a way to transform the economy, to transform.
00:37:48.420 It's a great opportunity.
00:37:49.840 And the third thing that is really important about this is that it's a video of a dinosaur
00:37:55.640 lecturing world leaders, not a scientist, not an expert, a cartoon dinosaur, because these
00:38:06.280 are not serious people.
00:38:07.880 This is not a serious issue.
00:38:11.600 This is a power grab based on fear-mongering and bread and circuses and fantasy.
00:38:20.880 The environmentalists who are pushing for this imminent destruction of the world or pushing
00:38:30.780 for massive global action, the upending of societies to stop the end of the world, they
00:38:35.260 are not serious people.
00:38:36.880 Environmental activists from the group Extinction Rebellion have just had a big protest.
00:38:42.980 And the way they protested fossil fuels and pollution in the atmosphere is to set up a prop
00:38:48.700 boat and set it on fire and then fill the air with a bunch of pollutants and smoke.
00:38:54.660 And that's going to protest filling the air with a bunch of pollutants and smoke.
00:38:59.860 Is it?
00:39:01.180 I don't.
00:39:02.300 Now, that would be, that would be self-undermining, I think.
00:39:05.440 That would be like animal rights activists protesting the harm done to animals by killing
00:39:13.380 a bunch of animals, which is literally what they do, by the way.
00:39:16.320 That's what PETA does.
00:39:17.080 PETA kills animals.
00:39:17.780 So they actually, it's a good example.
00:39:20.440 They actually should, should look into that there as well.
00:39:24.420 These are not serious people.
00:39:27.760 This is not a serious movement.
00:39:31.540 It's not even opposed to the ruling class.
00:39:35.920 I just read a headline that Greta Thunberg, who is the most prominent, the left really exploited
00:39:42.900 her when she was a kid, now that she's, I think she's 18 now or 19.
00:39:47.960 Now that she's no longer a kid, they talk about her less.
00:39:50.360 They're going to find some other kid to exploit.
00:39:52.240 But I read some headline that said Greta Thunberg is going to be appearing at and protesting the
00:39:58.240 climate summit.
00:39:58.960 What do you mean she's not protesting the climate summit?
00:40:03.440 What do you mean protesting?
00:40:04.740 She's invited.
00:40:05.940 All the world leaders, they're all on the same team.
00:40:08.380 The activists and the politicians and the media and every powerful institution in the whole
00:40:16.860 wide world and corporate America and big tech and the universities, they're all, they're all
00:40:21.380 in agreement.
00:40:22.940 There is no protest.
00:40:24.260 It's, it's theater, it's kabuki theater, but there's, what are they, who are they protesting?
00:40:31.900 They're all, all of those powerful groups are protesting you.
00:40:35.120 All the people with the power are protesting you who want to keep your way of life and your
00:40:40.140 liberties and your system of government and who have observed that all of the kooky environmentalist
00:40:45.820 claims of Armageddon that they've been pushing since at least the 1970s and actually much longer
00:40:50.220 before that haven't come true.
00:40:51.720 It was all a bunch of bunk.
00:40:56.220 People are recognizing that.
00:40:59.040 You know, even some leftists are recognizing that.
00:41:01.340 There was a host on MSNBC who called out her leftist guest from the Democratic Party and
00:41:08.560 said, hey, all you guys seem to be running on is orange man bad.
00:41:15.300 All you're doing is you're running against Trump.
00:41:18.660 Trump's not even in office anymore.
00:41:20.120 Trump is a looming threat, but he's not in power.
00:41:23.360 Democrats are.
00:41:24.080 And right now, Democrats have not gotten anything done on infrastructure, voting rights, gun
00:41:29.760 reform and police reform.
00:41:31.680 How do you get voters energized in Virginia for Democratic ideals, not just against Trump?
00:41:39.100 So he the guy doesn't have a good answer on any of these things.
00:41:42.960 And it's not really important what he says.
00:41:44.420 He ends up going, he says, well, you know, Democrats did this one thing or they sometimes
00:41:47.700 do this.
00:41:48.260 But, you know, yeah, we got to.
00:41:49.400 Trump's really bad.
00:41:50.700 Trump's really bad.
00:41:51.680 But, you know, the Democrats are in trouble when MSNBC is worried about it.
00:41:56.740 Right.
00:41:57.200 And you can just see it on every issue.
00:41:59.640 Joe Biden's numbers have tanked.
00:42:01.820 Joe Biden, who won Virginia by 10 points, is now underwater there by 10 points.
00:42:05.860 Joe Biden is underwater on every single issue.
00:42:08.200 He used to be above water on on COVID.
00:42:12.600 That was the one issue that people approved of him on.
00:42:15.680 He's now losing even on that issue.
00:42:18.060 His approval rating is in the 30s.
00:42:21.120 So I don't think the MSNBC host is necessarily calling out the strategy because she's worried
00:42:26.620 about fairness or justice.
00:42:27.900 But at the very least, she's worried about her own party.
00:42:30.700 And she's saying, guys, this is not a winning strategy.
00:42:32.760 You got you got deep blue Virginia very possibly might give the election to a Republican because
00:42:40.200 of how much you guys are screwing up.
00:42:44.120 Trump is the villain.
00:42:45.600 He's the scapegoat.
00:42:46.680 Every problem in the world comes from Trump.
00:42:49.140 But Trump is not as relevant right now as he was a few years ago.
00:42:54.500 Maybe he'll run for office again.
00:42:55.940 Maybe he won't.
00:42:56.980 So at the moment, he's just not particularly relevant.
00:43:00.620 So now they've got to try to make a new villain and the new villain they've selected is Ron
00:43:05.660 DeSantis, MSNBC also pushing this, one of the more eccentric hosts there, Joy Reid, going
00:43:12.360 on a bizarre tirade against the governor of Florida.
00:43:15.560 On Sunday, the Florida Republican announced plans to offer unvaccinated cops $5,000 bonuses
00:43:21.160 to relocate to Florida and join police forces there.
00:43:24.760 Rolling out this perverse dystopian tourism ad to the COVID blue line.
00:43:30.620 Are you big on ordering people to comply, but you hate complying with health mandates
00:43:36.460 yourself?
00:43:37.800 Do you dream of arresting people's ability to breathe while you arrest them?
00:43:42.140 Well, pack up your potentially infectious self, your badge and your gun and come on down
00:43:47.100 to Florida.
00:43:48.080 Take this taxpayer bonus money and enjoy constant interaction with vulnerable senior citizens
00:43:53.040 you can breathe on.
00:43:54.460 Every breakthrough case in ICU admission is the virus of freedom spreading.
00:43:59.140 And don't forget the sunscreen.
00:44:03.400 Is she okay?
00:44:04.280 Does someone need to check on Joy Reid?
00:44:07.880 What Joy Reid has observed is this policy that Ron DeSantis has.
00:44:13.100 He's saying, if you get fired, you're a cop, you're being fired because you won't take the
00:44:16.660 Fauci ouchie because you're a healthy person and you don't really need it.
00:44:20.620 And your risk from dying of the virus is very, very low.
00:44:23.280 And we're told that the vaccine is so super duper effective that it protects you regardless
00:44:28.980 of however anyone else behaves.
00:44:30.840 It protects you from hospitalization and death.
00:44:33.940 So look, if you lose your job for that, come on down to Florida.
00:44:36.880 We got a job for you.
00:44:39.040 No, no, he's, it's evil.
00:44:41.120 You're going to kill grandma.
00:44:41.980 You're going to breathe on grandma.
00:44:42.900 Don't worry.
00:44:43.200 Grandma got the vaccine.
00:44:44.000 It's fine.
00:44:44.280 You just told me that the vaccine is fine and it protects you.
00:44:46.140 No, you, it's, and he's, and all they've got, all they've got is fear mongering and
00:44:52.240 insinuation and snark.
00:44:53.660 She never makes any argument, right?
00:44:55.660 She never cites any scientific fact.
00:44:57.420 She never makes any argument from justice or science or anything else.
00:45:00.800 The fact is DeSantis was right about everything from the beginning of the pandemic.
00:45:05.340 Almost every single decision he made, maybe every single one was correct.
00:45:09.600 And Cuomo got it wrong and Newsom got it wrong and Biden's gotten it wrong and everyone's
00:45:13.260 gotten it wrong except for this guy.
00:45:14.380 And forget about DeSantis for a second.
00:45:17.060 This is true broadly on the right.
00:45:19.820 The government that we had before Joe Biden came in was working a lot better than the government
00:45:24.000 we have now right with Joe Biden and they can't make an argument for it.
00:45:27.500 So all they've got is their snark and their insinuation and their fear mongering and very
00:45:34.460 little else.
00:45:36.120 People are aware of that.
00:45:38.420 Their power is cracking a little bit in the media, in all of those institutions.
00:45:42.660 And that's been building for a long time.
00:45:45.180 And so now they are going to double down.
00:45:46.720 They are not going to give up power without a fight.
00:45:49.540 That's why we got to hold the line.
